Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A correlation of 0.00 (indicating no relationship) is best represented by a circle, as there is no pattern or tendency in the relationship between the two variables. An ellipse or football shape, as seen in choices A and B, would suggest some degree of correlation or relationship between the variables. A correlation of 1.00 (perfect positive correlation) is also best represented by a circle, as all data points would fall exactly on a straight line, forming a circle.
